世紀三部麯:
《巨人的衰落》《世界的凜鼕》
《永恒的邊緣》
“平均三個通宵讀完”是對《世紀三部麯》係列小說的評價,也是對肯·福萊特的褒奬。在歐美齣版界,肯·福萊特這個名字就是暢銷的保證。
肯·福萊特說:他之所以選擇20世紀這一百年的故事,是因為它不僅是你我的父親母親、爺爺奶奶們的人生,也是你和我的故事。
讀過他的作品我們就會知道:為什麼世界是今天的樣子,為什麼我們會以現在這樣的方式活著、恨著、笑著、哭著、煩惱著、焦慮著、快活著,也愛著。
那麼,世紀三部麯,以怎樣的筆觸,講述瞭這100年裏怎樣的故事?
20世紀人與事,道盡百年皆是哀
通過描寫英國、美國、前蘇聯、德國的幾個傢庭祖孫三輩的命運交織、興衰沉浮,悲喜交加的人生曆程,串起瞭從薩拉熱窩事件直至柏林牆的倒下這期間眾多的重大曆史、政治事件。
祖輩(一戰,第一部)、父輩(二戰,第二部)、孫輩(戰後,第三部)處在不同的曆史時點上經曆著不同的悲歡離閤,生死相隔。或是戰火紛飛,血雨腥風;或是政治隔膜,冷戰不斷;各個傢庭,因為戰爭、政治主張或因為追求自由生活,陷入不同的情感糾葛和命運漩渦。
小說利用虛構的小說人物和真實的曆史人物相互對話,在真實的曆史事件中虛實結閤,讓故事情節更有紀實體小說般的真實性。
比較而言,《巨人的隕落》構思縝密,情節連貫,麯摺生動。《世界的凜鼕》營造的場景更加的殘酷,筆鋒更為冷冽;《永恒的邊緣》則更多瑣碎的敘述,有些零亂。
但三部作品中許多曆史情節的描述,曆史事實的記錄,給瞭我們全新的視野,一改過去單一來源所留下的曆史印象,使我們重新認識曆史。

Fall of Giants
一戰中的“巨人的隕落”
在第一次世界大戰的硝煙中,每一個邁嚮死亡的生命都在熱烈地生長——威爾士的礦工少年、剛失戀的美國法律係大學生、窮睏潦倒的俄國兄弟、富有英俊的英格蘭伯爵,以及癡情的德國特工……
從充滿灰塵和危險的煤礦到閃閃發光的皇室宮殿,從代錶著權力的走廊到愛恨糾纏的臥室,五個傢族迥然不同又糾葛不斷的命運逐漸揭曉,波瀾壯闊地展現瞭一個我們自認為瞭解,但從未如此真切感受過的20世紀。
This is an epic of love, hatred, war and revolution. This is a huge novel that follows five families through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for votes for women. It is 1911.
The Coronation Day of King George V. The Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family, is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London. Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and to two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution.
In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, "Fall Of Giants" moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.

Winter of the World
二戰中的“世界的凜鼕”
我親眼目睹,
每一個邁嚮死亡的生命都在熱烈地生長。
一切都始於那個裂變中的大時代——希特勒上颱,愛德華八世退位,原子彈在廣島和長崎爆炸……世界劇烈改變,我該怎麼辦?
這正是他們的睏惑——一群處於人生黃金時代的少男少女,來自德國、美國、英國、蘇俄和威爾士的五大傢族,他們父輩的命運因一戰而徹底改變。
如今,世界再次破碎,甚至更加暴烈和殘酷。然而,這就是他們的時代!在時間的永恒流動中,每個人都在創造曆史。所以,為什麼不一起來,會一會命運?
Five linked families live out their destinies as the world is shaken by tyranny and war in the mid-twentieth century.
Berlin in 1933 is in upheaval. Eleven-year-old Carla von Ulrich struggles to understand the tensions disrupting her family as Hitler strengthens his grip on Germany.
Into this turmoil steps her mother's formidable friend and former British MP, Ethel Leckwith, and her student son, Lloyd, who soon learns for himself the brutal reality of Nazism. He also encounters a group of Germans resolved to oppose Hitler - but are they willing to go so far as to betray their country?
Such people are closely watched by Volodya, a Russian with a bright future in Red Army Intelligence. The international clash of military power and personal beliefs that ensues will sweep over them all as it rages from Cable Street in London's East End to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, from Spain to Stalingrad, from Dresden to Hiroshima. At Cambridge Lloyd is irresistibly drawn to dazzling American socialite Daisy Peshkov, who represents everything his left-wing family despise.
But Daisy is more interested in aristocratic Boy Fitzherbert - amateur pilot, party lover and leading light of the British Union of Fascists. Back in Berlin, Carla worships golden boy Werner from afar. But nothing will work out the way they expect as their lives and the hopes of the world are smashed by the greatest and cruellest war in the history of the human race. Winter of the World is the second novel in Ken Follett's uniquely ambitious and deeply satisfying trilogy 'The Century'. On its own or read in sequence with Fall of Giants, this is a magnificent, spellbinding epic of global conflict and personal drama.

Edge of Eternity
冷戰中的“永恒的邊緣”
《巨人的隕落》的大結局!
我親眼目睹,每一個邁嚮死亡的生命都在熱烈地生長。
“世紀三部麯”終於迎來瞭一個完美結局。如果說《巨人的隕落》是祖輩的傳奇,《世界的凜鼕》是父輩的人生,那麼,《永恒的邊緣》就是新一代的奮鬥。
真正殘酷和激烈的世界大戰,是思想的大戰。來自美國、德國、蘇聯、英國和威爾士的五大傢族,又一次迎來瞭新的考驗。東西德分裂、柏林牆、蘇聯秘密警察、刺殺肯尼迪、民權運動、古巴導彈危機、入侵黎巴嫩、彈劾尼剋鬆……此外,第三代生活中還有搖滾、嬉皮士、跨種族婚戀、性解放,以及對過去的誤會與和解。
說到底,世上隻有一種英雄主義,就是在認清生活真相之後,依然熱愛生活。
Five families. Three decades. One extraordinary era. Edge of Eternity is the epic final volume in the Century trilogy.As the decisions made in the corridors of power bring the world to the brink of oblivion, five families from across the globe are brought together in an unforgettable tale of passion and conflict during the Cold War.
When Rebecca Hoffmann, a teacher in East Germany, finds herself pursued by the secret police, she discovers that she has been living a lie. Her younger brother, Walli, longs to escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain to become part of the burgeoning music scene.
In the United States, George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration, is a fierce supporter of the Civil Rights movement - as is the woman he is in love with, Verena, who works for Martin Luther King, Jr. Boarding a Greyhound bus in Washington to protest against segregation, they begin a fateful journey together.Russian activist, Tania Dvorkin, narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news sheet.
Her actions are made all the more perilous as her brother, Dimka, is a rising star in the heart of the Communist Party in the Kremlin.From the deep south of America to the vast expanses of Siberia, from the shores of Cuba to the swinging streets of Sixties' London, Ken Follett's Edge of Eternity is a sweeping tale of the fight for individual freedom in a world gripped by the mightiest clash of superpowers anyone has ever known.*Includes family tree*
